Jessi Hempel, Author & Podcast Host

Your New Life Blend

Has there ever been a better time to decide what our lives should look like? We are emerging from a once-in-a-century cataclysm where our lives were upended, our communities remade and our priorities readjusted. Now as the call to return to “normal” grows more insistent, we get to ask the question: what does “normal” look like? Did the old normal serve me? What do I want my new normal to be? And what will that mean for my career, my community, and my family? These are the fundamental questions to building our lives – and now, rebuilding them. As a therapist and coach, Shoshanna Hecht has been wrestling with these very questions in her practice – and now, on this podcast. With guests from all walks of life including media, culture, politics, tech, business & activism, Shoshanna examines the overlap of our goals, relationships, boundaries and priorities, and how we can navigate them all with self-awareness and intention. What do we want our lives to look like? Welcome to Your New Life Blend.

What happens when we achieve our goals? What if we realize that what we thought we wanted isn’t really what we want anymore? What if the thing we thought we were supposed to do, isn’t actually what gives us purpose? And who decides what we are “supposed” to do, anyway? These are the questions that author & technology journalist Jessi Hempel considers weekly in her acclaimed podcast “Hello Monday” which examines the evolving culture of work, and in her book, “The Family Outing,” about the evolution of her family members and their identities.

In this episode of “Your New Life Blend,” host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Jessi about finding purpose in our work, taking stock of how we are evolving, and making space for where we’ve been and where we’re going, and how we can all pursue the most authentic version of ourself.

Here’s what some of the listeners have to say:

“Shoshanna asks the very best questions. While I’m off thinking of one thing, as a result of the interview discussion, she cuts through everything to get to the central, underlaying theme. I loved the first episode and so appreciate her sign off, reminding the listener to be gentle with oneself. Who doesn’t need that reminder?” ~mbr2014

“Love this podcast! The host is charming and insightful, the guests are fascinating and inspiring! I especially appreciate the timeliness and comforting message of the show – we have all been through so much in these last few years. It is time for a new look at our work and our lives, and what a great gift to have the chance to be guided by master coach Shoshanna Hecht and her brilliant guests.” ~GioiaDC
